They were all billed to the credit card of 41-year-old Steven Jackson at 4:34 p.m. on June 13, 2010 in a Price Chopper supermarket on Central Avenue. The customer signed Jackson's name to the receipt.

But Jackson was not there. At 1 p.m. that day, the marijuana dealer known as "Swag" had been kidnapped inside an apartment at 40 Parkwood St. in Albany. His body, allegedly dumped days later down a sewer manhole, has never been found.

On Wednesday, as three of Jackson's alleged captors stood trial on murder and kidnapping charges, the prosecution produced surveillance footage of the Price Chopper purchase -- and a customer they say is one of the defendants.

Jason "Jay" Benn, 38, of Albany, is accused of stealing Jackson's credit card, then billing $128.60 to it at the supermarket. Still images played in Albany County Court showed a customer, alleged to be Benn, buying the items.

The footage was shown to the jury by Assistant District Attorney Eric Galarneau during the testimony of William Ward, a retired Guilderland police officer who works corporate security for the supermarket. It included a shot from above the register, as well as another image, taken at 4:35 p.m., of the customer exiting the supermarket.

Jackson was black; the customer in the footage and Benn are white.

Benn's defense attorney, Michael Feit, asked Ward if additional footage was not shown. Ward indicated that was the case.

Benn, and co-defendants Ricky "L" Thornton, 41, of Rensselaer, and Louis "UB" Chaney, 43, of Albany, also known as "God," face 25 years to life in prison if convicted of charges of second-degree murder, kidnapping, burglary and conspiracy.

The Times Union reported in February that Benn allegedly told police he received Jackson's credit card from a man while hanging out in a crack house, used it to buy "milk, bacon, chips and some kind of birthday or graduation card" and traded the card for crack.

Earlier Wednesday, the owner of the complex where Jackson was kidnapped said he rented out 40 Parkwood St, to Jackson after meeting with him on June 13, 2009 -- one year to the date of the abduction. The owner said he received a good reference for Jackson from his supposed former landlord, Gino "G" Uzzell, now known as Jackson's double-crossing partner in a marijuana business.

"He advised you Mr. Jackson was a good tenant?" asked Assistant District Attorney Francisco Calderon.

The apartment was described as a stash house for pot. Schaefer said Jackson, who listed his occupation as a carpenter, paid most of his rent, as well as security, in cash. Uzzell pleaded guilty to conspiracy in the case. He is expected to testify for prosecutors in exchange for a 7-to- 21 year sentence.
